FOCUS ON EDUCATION

朋友和同學
Friends and Classmates

這一週王老師出了一個週記題目:「朋友和同學」。我想這個題目很多人都覺得很簡單,可是它使我想起許多我對朋友不好的事來。

今天早上,王老師給我們講「不打不成交」的道理。與朋友有衝突雖然不好,但在這個時候,我們如果肯反省,就可以知道朋友的個性和自己的個性。這樣以後就可以更加相互瞭解,相互調整自己不對的地方,相處得也會更融洽。

朋友和同學不一樣;朋友可以選擇,同學就無法選擇。為什麼呢?只要在同一個班上上課就是同學了,可是朋友就不一定了。我們要選擇有益的朋友交往,同時自己也要變成別人的益友。如何成為別人的益友呢?首先自己要有良好的修身養性,要有好脾氣、好表現、好品德才可以當人家的益友。

跟同學在一起也要和平相處,要多跟好同學在一起。平時也要做好榜樣給老師和同學看,以後就可以當人家有益的同學了。

Our teacher Dr. Wang gave us a writing assignment for this week on the topic, "Friends and classmates." Maybe a lot of people think it is an easy one, but it reminds me of many times when I treated my friends badly.

This morning Dr. Wang explained to us the meaning of the saying, "Without conflict, there cannot be good friendship." Conflict between friends may not be good, but if we have the courage to investigate and examine ourselves, we will be able to understand our own and our friends' characters. Then we will better understand one another. Through selfadjustment, we will develop more harmonious relationships with our friends.

Friends and classmates are different. We can select our friends, but not our classmates. Anyone who is in our class is our classmate. This is not necessarily true for friends. We should select friends who will have a positive influence on us. We should also be a friend who influences others positively. How can we do this? The most important thing is to cultivate ourselves. In order to become a wholesome friend, we must have a good temper, good behavior, and a virtuous character.

We should get along well with our classmates and spend most of our time with good classmates. If we can be good role models for our classmates and conduct ourselves well for our teachers, we'll become a positive influence for our classmates.
